Desirability
The sword of Power[3] is a decent weapon for most high level Long Blades users, if they don't mind losing the shield slot. Meek characters, as the flavor suggests, should probably stick to some other sword; a +9 branded triple sword deals similar damage independent of your HP. Conversely, this sword reaches its full potential with robust species (like Ogre) or those constantly go under the effects of berserk.
History
- Prior to 0.26, the Sword of Power was a +0, unbranded greatsword. Every 10 HP you had increased its enchantment, up to a max of +27.
- In older versions, the Sword of Power's enchantment would vary from -4, -4 to +20, +20, making it range from distinctly bad to still worse than a well-branded triple sword.
